Default Bent Custom Wheel

Hey Fiberglass Friends,
One of our Lady club members with a C4 has a slightly bent custom wheel. She would like to have it fixed and not go back to the factory wheels because she has a ground effects package on the Corvette and likes the "custom" look. She is a school bus driver for challenged children so she really does not have the cash to put down for another complete set of wheels.
With all of that being said, can any of you reccomend a shop that repairs / straightens wheels? I heard there was one in Maryland, we are located in central Virginia.
Thanks to everyone, this forum has been a great help for us!
Still Wavin After All These Years,

A lot of the Callaway folks and a few board members swear by the work of Ye Olde Whell Shop. I have been told they even repair the expensive Dymags and could probably fix your club members wheel.

i sent my Dymags there for refinishing...the work was absolutely top notch. I know they've fixed a few magnesium rims...I think they can handle just about anything.
